In the richest country in the world, in the richest state in the country, in a state as blue as can be, Oakland teachers have to go on strike to get the basics for their students. They are in the fight for the soul of public education.

Oakland educators and community supporters picketed in front of an OUSD construction site in West Oakland starting at 5am, and the union construction workers didn't cross the lines! The site is shut down. This is solidarity!
